XTreme

Just looked it up and the weight is 345 kg (761 lb).

Yeh......but most of that is down to inferior Carediff DNA Bob! They're all in a fucking state!

What's the matter with him......besides the fact that he's from Cardiff?

I found THIS!

St Pauls?

Wasn't Specs supposed to be submitting something?

Don't forget the darkside Pedro!

I think that Tym's moped should be allowed Pedro......because he's obviously riding it. And it'll probably get more votes than his KLR!

I won't be using the Strom for the next 2 weekends.........as it's going in for part ex and I don't want to tempt fate. However, on Sunday I will finally be tracking down that abandoned village in the Sierra de Segura that I've mentioned before. I can't use the Strom, plus the wife wants to see this place.....so it'll be a Drive Report...... ......in a French car! You don't get shit like this on ButtRider! Tell 'em @Tym

It's a look I define as a geriatric James Dean!

Here you go @Clive

And I normally wear my black jeans in the Winter (they're warmer) plus I have a shorter black jacket as well. This is really going to freak out those Pretentious Beemer Fuckwits!

You just made me realise that the Beemer really fits the "Dark Motorcycling" genre! And of course I've got a black helmet as well.

Like this one? Still got same jacket, jeans, and boots!

Yeh......the fucking stench coming off you must have got a few Yen!

What year is that Tym?

Not interested in that shit Rog! I have no need to "belong". I have bikes so I can ride them when I want to.....and where I want to. It's not some sort of social scene for me!

Looks like I'll be be regressing back to my status of PBF from 15 years ago......Pretentious Beemer Fuckwit!

Looks like it's going to be the week after next that it's available.......because there's a waiting list to get ITV's (MOT's) done due to the Covid shutdown. And you can probably guess that it's going to be the G650GS.......the CRF250L would be better offroad for sure, but onroad it would struggle because of the distance I need to go to reach the abandoned shit. I've done nearly all of the closer stuff......from now on it's going to be an hour or two to get to them. Doing that on a CRF (and I'd need to access motorways) would be hard going. So it stacks up like this.......2007 DL650 38K kms + €1500 = 2015 BMW G650GS with 19K kms, 1 year warranty, 2 years ITV (MOT). It's a no-brainer......I sell the Strom for what I paid for it 15 months ago, and the €1500 cash difference equates to 9 weeks Pension. That's been going into a separate Bank account and hasn't been touched.......so literally there's nothing coming out of my normal money. Like I said.....it's a no-brainer!

The upside though is we're all still here doing what we do........despite being the walking wounded these days. You look back and consider how many aren't.......most of my original bike mates never survived the 70's. It was like The Killing Fields back then. And since then so many others have gone through illness.......now I don't wonder what old friends are doing, I wonder whether they're still alive.

Been out on the bikes Dave?

I know the answer to this one: You need to assfuck DA's gay Honda!
